Get the Meopta 15x56 binos and for another $300 or so get the doubler. Now you have binos and a 30x spotter. See the recent review on the site of these binos. You can save some significant dollars over comparable Swaro.
I think he meant comparable... As in vs the 15x56 Swaro which it theoretically competes, even if it certainly does not have the christ-like following of the Swaro on hunting forums.
I don't think he meant its just as good. Although I was impressed with the review posted here.
Well, that escalated quickly.This is the review I am referring to.
Review: Meopta Meostar 15X56 HD Binocular
You can also look at other posts I have made that have links or notes to awards won by the Meopta (which pre-date the above review). I certainly don't expect you to respect my opinion, but I need not have "Swaro is unquestionably the best" crammed down my throat either. Swaros are good. Many people, including me, feel Meopta can hang with them. If you have the coin and want to dump it on Swaros, be my guest. As I have said before, I don't get to use my Meoptas enough to even justify what I paid for them, so I'm sure not going to buy Swaors. And, yes, I have looked through them. I don't see the need to pay a super premium for them to get what is, arguably, a level of performance only an expert will detect with some charts for comparison. And with that being said, note the picture in the above review showing the Meopta beating the Swaro in regards CA!
Slap the Meopta doubler on a set of the 15x binos and you have a 30x spotter with a 56 mm objective. If I remember correctly, Mr. Denning suggested in his latest book 30x is probably about all you really need (and he is not the only person I have read make this recommendation). I personally don't like using a spotter--I have a decent one and I don't use it now. I much prefer 15x binos. The doubler is only for instances when I have spotted something and really need a closer look. I had no trouble with the Meoptas judging muleys at 2+ miles this year without the doubler. Why the hell lug a dedicated spotter if I don't need it?
I'm suggesting this for people who are 1 open minded or 2 need to economize to some degree in their equipment. If you are neither and you gots them deep pockets, by all means get you some Swaro.
Dude the internet is not serious business, I was joking. Your post comes off quite... stern, lol.Sweet Jesus, can their be no rationale debate anymore? Buy whatever makes you feel pretty. Do we need a cry circle here?
Have you ever read some posts by the Swaro/Zeiss faithful? You'd think you were using Coke bottles bound with bailing wire if you don't have those brands. Might as well be willing to defend your position when called in to question on this--otherwise people new to this site or who do need to have some sort of budget line will think they are a loser if they don't have the "it" glass.
Again, take a look at my other posts on this subject and look at links there. The bird people are good sounding boards, but they are not the holy grail of the glass world. They met the Brunton Epoch with faint praise. You ever look through one? It was awesome. It was intended to compete with top of line Swaro and it did. But, price was the same, so it had 0 chance of success.
